the Past “The four Elders of the Luotian Sacred Land are in our hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within three days, hand over ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields; otherwise, after three days, we will execute them again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Jingshan rose into the sky and declared with mana-infused authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, his tone shifted as he cupped his hands towards the surrounding crowd:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope the fellow Daoists here ‘as guests’ can pass on the message, so this news can reach the ears of the Luotian Sacred Land sooner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words directly shocked the powers ‘as guests’ around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor Immortal Sect had won again?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading four Great Elders of the Luotian Sacred Land with tens of thousands of strong warriors, and even with Sacred Dao Mystics Weapons, had been so thoroughly defeated?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did the Emperor Immortal Sect acquire such strength?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the surrounding forces were somewhat panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Emperor Immortal Sect was in decline, they had not missed a chance to kick them while they were down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Emperor Immortal Sect showed signs of rising, did this mean their good days were also coming to an end?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many powerful beings hidden in the shadows silently retreated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From today onwards, we must change our perception of the Emperor Immortal Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the future, we can no longer treat the Emperor Immortal Sect as an easy target.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such thoughts, the figures in the dark withdrew one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the most shocked were the people from the Lie Tian Upper Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this really the same Emperor Immortal Sect?” people from the Lie Tian Upper Country doubted in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s battle showed the Emperor Immortal Sect’s extremely strong and domineering style, reminiscent of its glorious past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely different from the usual compliant appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The methods displayed by the Emperor Immortal Sect today shocked many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless people were secretly guessing what kind of power boost the Emperor Immortal Sect had received to become so domineering and brave all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were rumors before that the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, which extracts resources from the Emperor Immortal Sect once every three years, had not taken their share this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one believed it at first, but now it seemed likely to be true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect has taken a fancy to the Holy Daughter Zhou Youwei of the Emperor Immortal Sect, and that’s why they didn’t take the resources?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they even left some backup strength for the Emperor Immortal Sect to use against the Luotian Sacred Land?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some speculated in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the only plausible explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there were also speculations like this: “After all, the Emperor Immortal Sect was once a true Great Emperor Immortal Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was disastrously defeated by the Heaven Suppressing Ancient Sect, they surely still had some foundation left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the Great Emperor Immortal Skill ‘Heavenly God Fierce Fire Scripture’ that was revealed three days ago is proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it could be that the Emperor Immortal Sect is showing the last of that foundation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what, the Emperor Immortal Sect had won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, no one could guess that the real reason behind the Emperor Immortal Sect’s victory was Ye Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of others, Ye Xuan was nothing more than a worthless, stupid son-in-law of the Emperor Immortal Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could such an existence have influenced the outcome of such a battle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the upper echelons of the Emperor Immortal Sect were very clear about who the true hero was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Wu Jingshan finished shouting, he returned to the high temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the people of the Emperor Immortal Sect looked at Ye Xuan with completely changed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utmost respect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jiang Jing, Ye Xuan’s mother-in-law who had always looked down on him, now held him in the highest regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You little bastard, you’re going to suffer a horrible death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Runting was suppressed, but she was cursing Ye Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You killed my son, I’ll have your life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, sworn enemies are particularly hateful upon meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Xuan, her son’s murderer, Chai Runting could no longer maintain her usual composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you, Zhou Youwei, you wretched girl, my son Yulong was so fond of you, yet you insisted on marrying a fool, deliberately embarrassing him and making our Luotian Sacred Land lose face!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just wait, you will all die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Runting gnashed her teeth, glaring at Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei as she hurled insults after insults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Runting’s curses instantly made everyone present frown and look uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Youwei looked at Chai Runting and calmly said, “I have always said that I will not marry Zhao Yulong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Ye Xuan and I were already engaged, so it is only natural that I married him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Youwei’s words were honest and to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Chai Runting heard this, her eyes turned completely red with rage, and she roared at Zhou Youwei,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is my son inferior to this good-for-nothing fool?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’d rather marry him than give my son a second glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re deliberately trying to kill my son!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You cheap maid, I’ll kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan stepped forward and slapped Chai Runting across the face, speaking indifferently, “Do you know why your son died?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s because he had a mother like you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams are askew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You spout all manner of nonsensical logic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd fell as silent as cicadas in winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare to hit me?” Chai Runting looked at Ye Xuan with an incredulous gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the wife of the Sacred Land’s Saint Master and an esteemed Elder of the Luotian Sacred Land, with high status and great authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone being hit, no one had even dared to curse at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, now she had been slapped with a resoundingly loud smack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing but hot air, I indeed slapped you,” Ye Xuan retorted with another slap to her face, leaving both cheeks swollen and red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, the Undying Night Emperor, had always been ruthless and merciless towards his enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he supposed to be afraid of slapping a mere woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, this woman was the mother of that blockhead, Zhao Yulong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chai Runting, with her hair disheveled like a shrew, glared at Ye Xuan, “You good-for-nothing fool, how dare you hit me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lock her in the Water Prison and execute the highest punishment,” Ye Xuan said, waving his hand, too lazy to speak any further with this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, Lu Chengde took Chai Runting and the other four Elders down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, only Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei, Jiang Jing, and Wu Jingshan remained in the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother-in-law, you and Old Wu go handle the Sect’s affairs first,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for this Execution Platform, no need to dismantle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continue to use it in three days,” Ye Xuan said to Jiang Jing and Wu Jingshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jing hesitated for a moment then spoke in a soft voice, “Ye Xuan, previously they didn’t give us the three Spirit Stone Mines and two Medicine Fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now we want ten Spirit Stone Mines and five Medicine Fields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely they will be even more reluctant to give them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan smiled slightly and replied in a gentle voice, “If they don’t give them, we’ll just keep killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also creating momentum for our Sect, letting other Sects know that Emperor Immortal Sect is no pushover.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as we achieve this effect, it doesn’t matter whether the Luotian Sacred Land gives in or not.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, isn’t that woman both the wife of the Sacred Land’s Saint Master and an Elder?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an important figure—if the Luotian Sacred Land doesn’t even care for her, then they’re finished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see,” Jiang Jing said, enlightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Jing and Wu Jingshan did not linger and immediately went to manage the Sect’s affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they left, Ye Xuan turned to Zhou Youwei, slightly puzzled, “Wife, did I hear you say we had a marriage arrangement from before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s that about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Youwei blinked, surprised, “Grandfather Ye didn’t tell you about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn’t know about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Youwei then slapped her forehead and exclaimed, “I forgot, you were delirious before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan immediately gave Zhou Youwei a dead-fish stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Youwei smiled gently and softly said, “Grandfather Ye and my grandfather were friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already arranged the match before you and I were born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after my grandfather passed away when I was six, he entrusted my father to honor the agreement.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew then that I had a fiancé two years younger than me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But as I grew up and the Emperor Immortal Sect faced dire straits with my father bearing the burden, and with the Luotian Sacred Land wanting an alliance through marriage, I didn’t like that Zhao Yulong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I thought of you, and I went to find Grandfather Ye alone with the marriage agreement, and then I brought you back to the Emperor Immortal Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, the hardships you endured at the Emperor Immortal Sect for the past year were all because of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Zhou Youwei felt guilty and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her initial intention in marrying Ye Xuan was mainly to avoid the arranged marriage with the Luotian Sacred Land, but it resulted in Ye Xuan suffering undeserved hardships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it is,” Ye Xuan said thoughtfully, looking at Zhou Youwei, speaking slowly, “Although it sounds like I’ve been made to carry the blame, it’s all in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just remember this,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, Zhou Youwei, are my wife, Ye Xuan’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you understand?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan said each word clearly, with utmost seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Youwei was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at Ye Xuan, uncertain, “After hearing all this, shouldn’t you be furious and then divorce me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the disgrace that Ye Xuan endured was all because of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would I be angry when I’ve gained a wife out of nowhere?” Ye Xuan gave Zhou Youwei a sidelong glance and said, somewhat annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1713,"2026-06-02T07:11:15.764Z",1,"novelbin.me","d113eeb9fcc91da1e2296cfa2425edda74de7d4c923c5f9c39724690bab92a19","the-legendary-son-in-law-of-the-emperor-chapter-56","the-legendary-son-in-law-of-the-emperor-chapter-54",1887,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-legendary-son-in-law-of-the-emperor-cover.jpg"]
